From the pictures above, you can tell that Valerie Brown probably wasn't exactly a SUPERHERO.... but she was a pretty awesome cartoon and comic strip character from Josie and the Pussycats. She performed backup in the band, played many instruments, and wrote most of the songs. She was also the one to get the girls out of most of their jams as she was a genius (a la Velma from ScoobyDoo). Rosario Dawson played Valerie in the Josie and the Pussycats live action movie in 2001.

I like your blog. I'm a 23 yr. old Black female too, and I did not know about most of these black female characters. It's very enlightening. And you feature a lot of my favorite charaters from my favorite shows and books that I loved as a kid and still love now: X-men, Batman Beyond, Animorphs, Power Rangers, Archie comics, Josie and the Pussy Cats, Power Rangers, Rugrats, ect. Also, look at this new comic featuring Archie and Valerie at this link. http://www.archiecomics.com/blog/news/2010/01/archie-comics-shipping-april-2010.html
